Now you have me jonesing for Cafe Rio. Thanks. Love the photos--how old is your mom? My age? Sheesh! You two look like teenagers! (I'm saying that out of pure jealousy...or is it envy? Hmmm...) Enjoyed Smashburgering with you. Looking forward to the conference in May!

Lovely, lovely photos. And while at the creamery earnestly chocolate must be consumed with said brownie, please tell me you've had it. Now I'm craving the dang stuff- I'll probably dream about it until I get some. And seriously, nary a once in the whole time you lived in/visited mecca did you ever hike the Y? How did this happen? It's nicest in the spring or fall, summer is much much too hot to do such things.
